why are mormons the only religion that is important enough to perform proxy

[Pilgrim]

ordinances for the deceased? does this tell us that mormonism is the only religion that will be relevant after death?
no edward, they do it because they received a revelation from God. perhaps this is what makes them more relevant after life.

Well we Catholics pray for those who have deceased. If that's what you mean.

Oh do you mean the wives will have in heaven. By heavens you may be on to something.

There are many fake Gods pilgrim, ritual does not mean it is from the real God. FYI.

 

[Edward the Less]

The mormon practice of baptism for the dead is taken from a single scripture verse. No other group practices this ritual. It makes the mormons neither more important nor the one that will be relevant after death.

Mormons have a number of odd practices; this is just one of them.

The atonement of Christ is a proxy/vicarious work for everyone who has died or will die. Temple work follows this same principal.
